Abstract:		 Alder Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Mr Wilson of Cordon Farming, Abernethy, to undertake an archaeological evaluation in the fields between Hatton and Cordon Farm in advance of the development of a free range egg unit centred on NGR NO 1790 1740. The evaluation (site code AE19) was undertaken in response to the archaeological implications of the development as outlined in the Terms of Reference supplied by Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust. The site had potential archaeological significance due to it close proximity to the Scheduled Roman temporary camp at Carey (Scheduled Monument 9449), just to the W of the site. The evaluation was located over the area of new build and by the side of the new access road and comprised a sample of 6% of that area. The work took place during the period 08th -09th November 2017 in good weather conditions. Eleven evaluation trenches (01-11) 2m wide, were excavated, variously measuring 30m, 15m and one at 3m in length, giving an evaluation area of 407sq m. The site revealed mainly shallow topsoil to an average depth of 0.15-0.40m over natural subsoil deposits of heavy grey and brown-orange stiff clay and occasionally very fine grey-orange clayey silt. Numerous red ceramic tile field drains were found crossing the site, testifying to the historic bogginess of these low lying fields due to the underlying heavy clay. Of archaeological interest was a rough pre improvement ditch feature found in trenches 04 and 11. Also of interest were some fragments of natural wood found in the natural clay of trench 07. Nothing of archaeological significance was found that could relate to the Roman Camp at Carey or any later or earlier periods. Alder considers that no further archaeological work will be required on this site but the final decision with regard to further work will made by Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust.
